Homesick

Things I miss about home:

• ICE in my drinks
• Sweet Tea, HEB tortillas, Two Step, Chick-fil-A, 
• Having a well-stocked diaper bag (Didn't bring one because it was too much to carry)
• Washer AND dryer
• Having more than one pair of jeans (hubs accidentally took my other pair back with him! OOPS!)
• Driving my van
• Going where I want when I want, and knowing how to get there
• The playroom in our house -- lots of entertainment for my little one!
• my bed and pillow
• Water from the tap
• Fresh fruits and vegetables, especially cucumbers
• Being in the same time zone as my children, and my friends and family
• Routine
• ENGLISH BILLBOARDS (yes, even in San Antonio, where English is the second language!)
• People who smile and talk friendly to you, even if they don't know you. 
• Most of all, my kids.  I can't stand being away from them.  It's breaks my heart daily.
• My Bible -- I brought my Nook, but the cord broke.  I have one on my husband's phone, but that's small.  I have my laptop.  I have access to God's Word, but I just love the familiarity and the feel of my big, thick, leather bound Bible.  It was too heavy to pack. :'(

Things I like About Ukraine

• It actually looks a lot like Kansas here!
• The weather is AWESOME!  70 or below, rainy...I know it doesn't sound awesome but hey, I live in San Antonio.  Anything other than HOT and HUMID is awesome!
• The Malones and Jamie
• Hearing worship songs in Russian at the Malones' church!!
